The parade will begin at 3pm at St Edburg’s Church, then people are being invited to line the Market Square to enjoy the mayoral service.

The annual event has traditionally taken place in June to welcome the new town mayor, but this year Bicester Town Council has made the decision to move it to September to encourage more local groups to take part.

Bicester will also see a Remembrance Service and Parade on Sunday, November 2023.

The service will again begin on the ground of St Edburg’s Church.
